September 2015
Dear Student,
We hope you will consider completing the enclosed Student Director Application for
consideration as a Student Director of The Scholarship Foundation of Wakefield. TSF is a nonprofit community organization that helps Wakefield students meet the costs of higher education
by awarding need-based scholarships to Wakefield residents. One of the ways we provide money
for these scholarships is through fundraising events and Student Directors are a vital part of the
event planning. You can learn more about TSF by visiting our website at
www.tsfofwakefield.org.
Student Directors elect their own officers (President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary)
who help to coordinate Student Director meetings. All Student Directors are expected to attend
the TSF Annual Meeting. This year, the 55th Annual Meeting will be held on Wednesday,
November 4, 2015. Student Directors are expected to participate in a variety of projects during
the academic year. Student Directors have two major roles, however, which all students must
support. The first responsibility is the Annual Phonathon, the Foundation’s primary fund-raiser.
This event, now in its 36th year, will be held on Saturday, March 19, 2016. In 2015, the
Phonathon raised over $48,000 from Wakefield citizens! Student Directors play a leadership role
before and during the event, working with the Phonathon Chairman, recruiting classmates to
work at the local sites, participating throughout the day, and coordinating much of the work
during the Phonathon itself. Student Directors who have part-time jobs or other extra-curricular
responsibilities are expected to make arrangements to be available for the entire event on the day
of the Phonathon. A variety of TSF-related events, such as the Annual Student Volleyball
Tournament and Annual Trivia Team Challenge, come up during the year and Student Directors
support them, as needed, as well.
The due date for completed applications is Thursday, September 24th. Completed
applications can be given to one of this year’s officers, Amanda Callahan, Julianne Bourque,
Taylor Guarino, or Madeline Shea, who will forward them to Mr. Kruszewski, the
Advisor. Applications can also be returned directly to Mr. Kruszewski in Room 1239. TSF of
Wakefield will contact students regarding selection by October 9th.
If you have any questions feel free to speak to Mr. Kruszewski at the High School or call or
email Roberta DiNitto at the TSF Office at (781) 245-4890 (tsfofwakefield@earthlink.net).
Thank you for your interest in TSF!
Sincerely,
Jennifer T. Walter
